Is CSMA/CD Still Used? Understanding Ethernet’s Collision Detection Legacy
Introduction: What is CSMA/CD? Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection (CSMA/CD) is a network access method that was fundamental to early Ethernet networks. Its primary role was to orchestrate how devices shared a common communication medium (like a coaxial cable or a hub-based network segment) and to elegantly handle “collisions” – instances where multiple … Read more
